Dear Developers,
I have been reading your postings and reviewing the code base for EMC2. I have
a couple of CNC machines
I would like to develop PC control to operate.
The devices are a Boxford MT2 which is a lathe mill combination and a
bridgeport series II mill. These are both stepper based
machines. I would like to build a USB based interface that handles all the
motion and spindle control. It would also handle OpenCan as well
as other servo driver interfaces. If we do this with EMC, I would put the
design files Gerbers, cpu source and xlinix with the EMC project.
As well as making built boards avaliable at cost.
I find that using a PC for stepping is fine for low speed stepping. I need a
device that can handle smooth stepping as well as servo upgrades.
The current EMC2 can not handle my needs of speed, smooth stepping, expantion,
as well as program loading and editing while the
machine is in operation. Harddrive, usb RS232 port operation and video updates
while running cause irregular stepping at high stepping speeds
with the current design.
If this sounds like a project to start and to define the next generation of EMC
I would like to help.
